Enter The 8R8 Podcast



I know it’s been a while but bear with me as I attempt to find my voice and try to figure out where I fit in inside of this strange place called life. Don’t think for one moment that I haven’t been busy. Although my writing has been on pause my 2016 has been nonstop as I spent part of my January in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to see Steve Aoki at Omnia but being able to spend my birthday with Tiesto was probably one of the most memorable experiences I have had in quite some time. It was fun coming out of retirement for two nights in the city of Sin. I also checked out Kid Cudi’s Especial Tour in Chicago but why read about it when you can hear all about it? Check out The 8r8 Podcast and hear all about my adventures. It’s nice mix of music, action figures, adventures, and real life. It’s in the baby stages so be patient please. I am having fun with the show and I believe it will only get better. Daniel Bryan I love man, thank you for the memories. The new Kanye West album drops tonight or tomorrow? There is OH SO much to be excited about. I want to hear all about your adventures, stories, passions, and life. Find me on twitter @The8r8 and if you have ever read even one of my words, thank you and I love you.

THE 8R8 IN THE YEAR 2014



I wish I could say there was nothing to talk about in 2014 but that’s not true.  I have a ton of notes from the many places that I have seen. There has been an obvious shift of direction in my life. I have been reading my stories and at times I am not very happy with what I see. The content isn’t where I would like it to be. I wrote most of these stories on my phone. My arena to write is any dive bar in America. This for some odd reason is where I find my creativity. Great deals of my tales were written under the influence and I fear they aren’t very reader friendly at times. They were produced in the moment and often posted in the moment in a hurry. I rarely did any editing which has lead to my discontent. It was overwhelming but I have gotten to point where I can accept that these stories are rough drafts of some great moments in between. I have begun editing the 8r8’s content. I started at the beginning. There are obvious grammar issues. My brain misses small words that are essential to the read. I haven’t changed the core of the stories but I did expand at times to give the read a better flow. There will still be moments that you will not understand but I am working on that as well. I plan to dissect some of my stranger blogs and give some insight with a little commentary in the future. I would like to get into some of the specifics. I alluded to things that deserve an explanation. This has been a therapeutic process. I surprised myself and remember the people and influence that surrounded them. I edited Day n Night: The Rise of 2 Eights. I posted the picture of an Eight Ball in my hand. On surface it was meant to be an origin story of the 8r8 name but it became a story about one of the most twisted times in my life. I plan on revisiting those places but for now I will continue to edit. I will keep editing until this content meets my expectations. I do not have a timeline and I am taking my time because I think the stories deserves better. I also think you as the reader deserve better from me. Expect a new mission statement. My relationship with music has changed and continues to be complicated.  I will present the overdue introduction of my partner in crime who is 100% personality.  I would like to build something consistent. The 8R8 is proud of all the EDM kids for grabbing hold of a genre and owning it. Keep telling your stories and living your music. See you in 2015.
